ITEM 5. Other Events.
On December 19, 2002, the Company issued 5,000 shares totaling $5.0 million of Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of HF Financial Capital Trust III, (the “Trust”). The Trust exists for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds in subordinated debentures of the Company. These subordinated debentures constitute the sole asset of the Trust. The securities provide for cumulative cash distributions calculated at a rate based on three-month LIBOR plus 3.35%. The Company may, at one or more times, defer interest payments on the capital securities for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods, but not beyond January 7, 2033. At the end of the deferral period, all accumulated and unpaid distributions will be paid. The capital securities will be redeemed on January 7, 2033; however, the Company has the option to shorten the maturity date to a date not earlier than January 7, 2008. Holders of the capital securities have no voting rights, are unsecured, and rank junior in priority of the payment to all of the Company’s indebtedness and senior to the Company’s capital stock.
